I can't seem to get the following to work on my new device:

(1) Use of fonts. Any changes to the "Fonts" tab are ignored. The Font "Size" option on the "Display" tab works, but that makes all text in a document the same size (i.e. the headings are the same size as the text of the documents). Also, it doesn't seem be "switching" fonts as the original html does (iSilo on the PC and on my Palm TX allow for multiple fonts in the document, the iSilo on my iPAQ are only showing a single font, single size (and I don't even get to pick the font).

(2) From within iSilo, I can assign tasks only to the rocker switch. I can't get iSilo to assign tasks to the other four buttons on the device (they retain their Windows Mobile assignments

(3) The "Color" tab also doesn't seem to have any effect on the eBooks. I can create a profile or change the default and it doesn't matter.

and lastly,

(4) Ocassionally, when switching back between full screen and non-full screen, the device will only "switch" part of the screen..the rest remains frozen until you close iSilo and reopen it.

Any suggestions/ideas...

(1) Use of fonts. Any changes to the "Fonts" tab are ignored.The Fonts tab is for assigning the font you want to use for each of the four possible font families (Default, Serif, Sans Serif, Monospace). The bottom part of the dialog, under the heading Preview, allows you to see how the chosen font looks. The Size, Bold, and Italic controls allow you to see how the font looks in different sizes and with different emphasis, so those controls only affect the preview. They do not affect the font used to display the content of the document.
The Font "Size" option on the "Display" tab works, but that makes all text in a document the same size (i.e. the headings are the same size as the text of the documents). Also, it doesn't seem be "switching" fonts as the original html does (iSilo on the PC and on my Palm TX allow for multiple fonts in the document, the iSilo on my iPAQ are only showing a single font, single size (and I don't even get to pick the font).The Display tab is where you set the font size. If all fonts are displayed using a single size, either you have the Font set to Absolute instead of Relative or you are in "free mode". In "free mode", all text displays in one size.

(2) From within iSilo, I can assign tasks only to the rocker switch. I can't get iSilo to assign tasks to the other four buttons on the device (they retain their Windows Mobile assignmentsUnfortunately due to the wide variability of devices, it has become impossible to have general support for button assignments. We will investigate what can be done in the future to address this issue.

(3) The "Color" tab also doesn't seem to have any effect on the eBooks. I can create a profile or change the default and it doesn't matter.If you select a color theme and it does not take effect, then it sounds like you are in "free mode". iSilo transitions to "free mode" after the 30-day trial period expires or if you somehow set the "free mode" option yourself. For the latter, go to the document list view Tool's menu and tap Options. In the Options dialog, go to the Mode tab and uncheck "Free mode", then tap OK.

(4) Ocassionally, when switching back between full screen and non-full screen, the device will only "switch" part of the screen..the rest remains frozen until you close iSilo and reopen it.We would have to reproduce this to determine what the problem is. It may be a device specific issue.
